[QUOTE="jopar, post: 96930, member: 11712"] flying with an insulin pump differ for each airline and country to a certain extent, and pumpers have different experiences.. In general most pumpers tend not to say anything as such to the airline they are flying with, they do take a letter from there clinic/consultant saying that it's a insulin pump etc that they have on them.. It seems that most just walk through, saying nothing particular about there pumps and answer question if asked, most don't get asked, some do but letter etc sorted... It is probably because you've made the airline aware of your little ones pump, and with the hightened secuirty measure there are now, they aren't quite sure how to handle it, as in does it or doesn't it pose a security risk, and how is customs going to view it etc etc remember the airline itself doesn't oversee the local customs in any country... So they are covering all the bases they can think off as they crop up... The good news for you, is that if for any reason you have a problem at customs on your journey, the airline has all the information to sort it out quickly... dont forget to get your cover letters for the pumps, supplies and insulin though... Relax, remember to take your passports and enjoy your stay in Oz [/QUOTE]
